Aspects of the Unconscious Mind in the Fictional Collection "An Kahi"

Abstract

In psychology, there are three parts of the mind that interact together to form
behavior and personality of an individual. These are Conscious, unconscious
and subconscious. Consciousness is related to awareness and is Submissive to
psychology that directly affects the actions, words and character of an
individual. It is not possible to directly acknowledge everything from
unconsciousness. They are those memories of mind, which usually exists in
the intellect of a person as an urge or desires but they do not come up in
practical life until they are faced by movement or after getting a hint about it.
While sub-consciousness is the intermediate level between consciousness and
unconsciousness. It consists of anything that can potentially be brought into
the conscious mind with a little effort.
